Pros

Better than average salaries. Decent cafeteria.

Cons

Company has gone downhill since merger with NSTAR a few years back. Salaried workers can be forced to work over 100 hours / week without a penny of overtime pay. Sick pay has been reduced by 67%. Multiple rounds of layoffs are crushing employee morale. Vacation time has been reduced for longtime employees. Bonus pay rules now allow the company to screw the employee out of their bonuses altogether. New company president made $80,000,000 in his first two years. Yet employees are paying for it in reduced pay and benefits and job security.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Normal vacation. Interesting job, meaning it’ll keep you mind sharp.

Cons

There are no goals or expectations set that allows you to prove you’re ready for growth. The only way to advance your career is to be one of the cool guys OR work 16 hours a day and weekends. Bonuses and merit increase is the same across the board no matter how much extra you do. The work force is too small for customer/management and the expectations are set too high. There are not enough vehicles for the work force and often times trainees have no way of getting to the job site. We would run out of stock items (cable,wire,connections,transformer,safety gear) that are necessary to keep the power on. Our best coworkers have left for biggest competitor…me too.
